Importers of Cuff Links and Studs of Base Metal, Plated or Unplated paid $64K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 20% on $326K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataBase metal cuff links and shirt studs — whether or not plated with precious metal — occupy their own dedicated 10-digit line (7117110000) within the imitation jewelry chapter, separate from other base metal costume jewelry. China dominates US imports under this heading by a wide margin, with the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy supplying smaller but notable volumes of higher-end fashion accessories. The heading's scope is narrow: only cuff links and studs qualify; other base metal jewelry accessories such as tie bars or collar pins classify elsewhere. Imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a material cost consideration for buyers sourcing volume fashion accessories.

Cuff links and studs of base metal that are plated with precious metal still classify under 7117110000, not under Chapter 71 headings for precious metal jewelry. The base metal substrate is the controlling factor; plating does not elevate the article into the precious metal jewelry headings unless the precious metal layer meets the bonded-cladding standard required for heading 7113.
Sets combining cuff links with other accessories such as tie bars may need to be classified under General Rule of Interpretation 3(b) by the component that gives the set its essential character, or broken out as separate items if the set does not have a single essential character. Tie bars and clips typically classify under heading 7117.19 rather than 7117.11, so mixed sets warrant careful review before entry.
